LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2021 New England Indoor Showcase (Sunday)
John Calabrese is a 2024 OF/1B with a 5-3 135 lb. frame from Staten Island, NY who attends Poly Prep Country Day. Recorded a 8.70 second sixty-yard dash time. Small, slender frame with broad shoulders and plenty of room and time to fill out. Primary outfielder with a developing defensive skill set; uses aggressive approach into the fielding process with young actions, clean funnel off his front foot and works into a short crow-hop to throw. Maintained momentum fairly well through release, while recording developing arm strength up 69 mph from a lower, extended slot. Left-handed hitter that hits from a narrow, open stance with high hand set, low back elbow and hover trigger. Short, compact stroke with slightly downhill swing path and fairly consistent bat-to-ball skills. Mostly middle-of-the field contact with ability to get the barrel out in front when needed. Will continue to improve with proper swing adjustments and additional strength. Fundamentally sound, young prospect with tons of projection remaining. Excellent Student.
